General Monthly for Month Commencing: Tuesday 01 June 2021

	Aries	Tuesday 01 June 2021	Mar 21 - Apr 19
There is not only a lot of planetary movement this month but for the most part, it is putting the faster planets at a friendly aspect to the slower planets. This is especially so for the planets in your communication sector, with a lot of support for and from Saturn, in his first full month in retrograde motion in your friendship sector. The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of June in your communication sector but with a lot more diversity this year. Until she leaves on 3rd June, Venus is on a mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice while in retrograde motion until 23rd June Mercury, the planet of communication is working to give the past and unsaid words a voice. At the same time, an eclipsing New Moon on 10th June brings an opportunity for a fresh start. It is on 3rd June that Venus will join Mars in your home and family sector, making her the first of the faster planets to catch up with the warrior planet of the cosmos since 2019. While Mars will leave on 12th June, this gives them nine days to bring his brute strength and determination together with the motivation Venus can provide. It is on 12th June that Mars will become the first planet to return to a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart in eight months, with Venus joining him here on 27th June. Meanwhile, Jupiter is not just spending his first full month in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart but a retrograde turn on 26th June will see him make a U turn and retrace his steps. This will see Jupiter retrograde back out at the end of next month, putting what should be a 12 month wind down of your current 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion on hold. This was never going to be about closure or completion and more a chance to begin the process. This is also a chance for Jupiter to spend some time with dreamy Neptune, with a chance to inspire your dreams and imagination.

	Taurus	Tuesday 01 June 2021	Apr 20 - May 20
Even though at all times there will be at least two planets in retrograde motion, there will be a lot of movement this month and a lot to be excited about. By the time we move into the new month, it has been 11 days since the Sun left Taurus, bringing your birthday month to a close. However, if it feels like you still don’t have a firm grasp on what you want from this new solar year it is because that is still evolving. It was during your birthday month that the dwarf planet Ceres returned to Taurus, with her first visit in four years a chance for a deep dive into your needs and priorities, something that will continue to evolve. In the meantime, as is always the case, the Sun will spend the first three weeks of June in your income sector and this year he is well supported. With Mars having recently moved through and having already declared war on glass ceilings, roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, you are more ready this year to fight for what you deserve. While Venus will leave on 3rd June, a retrograde phase is keeping Mercury here for the whole month. In retrograde motion until 23rd June, Mercury’s smart head for money is focused on the past and on untapped income potential. However, an eclipsing New Moon on 10th June creates the potential for new opportunities. It is on 3rd June that Venus will join Mars in your communication sector. This will give Venus’ mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice a head start, benefiting from the war that Mars has been waging on communication barriers since late April. This is not the only place that Venus and Mars will meet up this month, with Mars returning to your home and family sector to focus on home, family and/or property matters on 12th June and Venus joining him there on 27th June.

	Gemini	Tuesday 01 June 2021	May 21 - Jun 21
Whether you are a May or a June born Gemini, with the Sun not leaving until 21st June this is always your month. Until the Sun leaves Gemini, regardless of when your birthday falls your birthday month is unfolding and this is your time to take your power back. The Sun’s return to Gemini each year is more than just another birthday, with a chance for a reset as you not only return to the energy you were born into but a chance for a fresh start as you begin a new solar year. This year, a lot of water had already passed under the bridge before your birthday month and new solar year even began. By the time Mercury, your ruling planet returned last month to start preparing for the Sun’s return it had been just 11 days since Mars wrapped up a seven week visit, his first to Gemini in two years. With a new Mars cycle underway, this gave your new solar year a head start. A retrograde turn late last month will keep Mercury here all month and until turning direct on 23rd June his intellectually savvy edge comes with 20/20 hindsight. Venus will leave Gemini on 3rd June but not before giving your heart a voice and a wish list for the coming year. Meanwhile, an eclipsing New Moon on 10th June is a chance for new beginnings and commitments, even though Mercury is still holding the doors open to the past and second chances. It is on 3rd June that Venus will join Mars in your income sector, with the planets of money and war able to work together, one providing the motivation and the other the brute force to push through glass ceilings, whether real or imagined. Mars will leave on 12th June but the nine days he spends with Venus could define the rest of this financial year. Venus will leave and join Mars in your communication sector on 27th June but with the Sun returning to your income sector on 21st June, ongoing income potential and momentum will be in safe hands.

	Cancer	Tuesday 01 June 2021	Jun 22 - Jul 22
There is an overlapping of the past, present and future this month, with the wind down of your old solar year in full swing while new doors are already opening. By the time you move into the new month, the wind down of your old solar year has been underway for 11 days and until the Sun returns to Cancer on 21st June, this is the point in any year when you are looking back, reflecting and closing old doors. With Venus and Mercury also in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart with the Sun, this is putting a lot of focus on the rear view mirror. However, you also start the month with Mars in Cancer and by the time you move into the new month he has already spent nearly six months forging new trails and opening new doors as you begin a new Mars cycle. Venus will join Mars in Cancer on 3rd June, something that is momentous for several reasons. Last year Venus didn’t return to Cancer until August, so this will not only see your heart start looking to the future weeks before your birthday month and new solar year begins but alongside Mars. The last time that Venus and Mars were in Cancer at the same time was in 2009 and that was for less than 24 hours. This time they will spend nine days together, from Venus’ return on 3rd June to Mars’ departure on 12th June. However, this is not the only place that Venus and Mars will meet up this month. Mars’ return to your income sector on 12th June will begin the first planetary activity on the income front in eight months and he is the perfect planet to get things moving. As the warrior planet of the cosmos, Mars will return to declare war on glass ceilings, roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined, as he urges you to fight for what you deserve. It is Venus’ return on 27th June that will bring her together with Mars again, this time bringing his brute force together with her ability to trigger the laws of attraction. Welcome to the most lucrative months of 2021.

	Leo	Tuesday 01 June 2021	Jul 23 - Aug 22
While it won’t be obvious from the start, this is the month that for you, everything will come alive, making this a truly transformative month. As you move into the new month while there is a lot of focus on your social life and on friendship and relationship building, in particular, you might find that you are lacking motivation or that you can’t quite get enough wind in your sails. Chances are this is nothing you can put your finger on and more that there is nothing firing things up. Even on the friendship and relationship building fronts, with planets in retrograde motion on both fronts, there is a lot of focus on the past and on pulling back. Even professionally, with the Sun having left your career sector last month and Pluto in retrograde motion in retrograde motion in your work sector, there isn’t any urgency and nothing keeping you on the edge of your seat. However, the real reason why things may feel flat is that as you move into the new month you are nearly six weeks into the seven week wind down of a two year Mars cycle, the point when you are often running on empty. Mars still hasn’t fully recovered from his retrograde phase last year and is not yet up to full speed. Instead of spending six weeks in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, the planet that gives us our drive and our get up and go will be here for just over seven weeks. However, everything changes when Mars finally leaves and returns to Leo on 12th June, not only returning to fire up your passion, drive, warrior and competitive spirit but to begin a new Mars cycle. This is when everything changes, the wind is back in your sails and you are ready to throw yourself into the things that excite you. Even when the Sun begins the wind down of your current solar year on 21st June this is unlikely to slow you down, because Mars has already spent over seven weeks closing old doors. Instead, things will get another bump when Venus joins Mars in Leo on 27th June.

	Virgo	Tuesday 01 June 2021	Aug 23 - Sep 22
Even if an eclipsing Full Moon in the closing days of May hadn’t brought work/life balance issues to a head, it is clear just by looking at the dynamics of this new month that this would be a priority. It is less that work/life balance is a challenge and more that it is the solution to a month that has a bit of everything and so much to offer. With the Sun always spending the first three weeks of June in your career sector this is always an important point in any professional year. However, so much water has already passed under the bridge on both the job and career fronts this year that this is just another phase in an ongoing journey. With Saturn in his first full month in retrograde motion in your work sector and Mercury in retrograde motion in your career sector until 23rd June, there is a call to pace yourself. Yet an eclipsing New Moon on the career front on 10th June is just one sign that despite that, there will still be forward movement as well. One reason why work/life balance is key is that this is also an important month on the social and relationship fronts. With Mars in your friendship sector until 12th June, Venus from 3rd June to 27th June and Jupiter in his first full month in your relationship sector, this is a huge month for personal and professional networking, friendship and relationship building. Yet another reason for balance, apart from a strong undercurrent on the playful and adventurous fronts is that Mars’ return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 12th June might take the wind out of your sails. This is the start of the wind down of a Mars cycle that began in 2019, with the planet that provides most of our drive and determination urging you to spend more time in the slow lane. Mars will be joined by Venus on 27th June, joining forces to wind down your current Mars and Venus cycles in tandem, as they prepare to return to Virgo next month.

	Libra	Tuesday 01 June 2021	Sep 23 - Oct 23
It is less that the battle lines have been drawn because there is no actual conflict between the two and more that this is one month where a balance between work and play will need to be a priority. You not only have planetary activity on both sides of life’s fence but some of the most powerful planets in the solar system and with both sides working in tandem with like minded influences. On the playful side of the life’s fence, you not only have the Sun, who will always spend the first three weeks of June in an adventurous part of your chart but a host of planets, all supporting and being supported by Saturn in a playful part. On the other side of the fence, at what is normally a quiet point in any professional year you not only have Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion in his first full month in your work sector in over a decade but Mars nearly six weeks into a seven week visit to your career sector. Normally, when you have an even distribution across the playful and busy sides of life’s fence one side will be more dominant but that is not the case this time. You even have both sides offering opportunities for second chances or do overs at some point in the month. On one side, Saturn is spending his first full month in retrograde motion in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart while Mercury is in retrograde motion in an adventurous part until 23rd June. On the other side, with Neptune turning retrograde in your work sector on 21st June and Jupiter on 26th June, by the end of the month the doors will be open to the past, second chances and untapped job potential. Meanwhile, while Mars will leave your career sector on 12th June, with Venus here from 3rd June to 27th June and the Sun returning on 21st June, there will be no drop in momentum. Mars’ return to your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking on 12th June will bring a whole new element into play, beginning his first visit in two years and the first planetary activity here in eight months.

	Scorpio	Tuesday 01 June 2021	Oct 24 - Nov 21
There is a lot of variety this month along with a mix of continuity and change. The continuity is on the financial front, where what began with Mars’ return to your financial sector in March not only still playing out but at a point in the year when the focus is always on your financial situation and money matters. The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of June in your financial sector but having had Mars moved through has given you a head start. You also start the month with Venus and Mercury in your financial sector, something that is not only putting heart and mind on the same page but with one looking to the past and the other to the future. Until leaving on 3rd June, Venus is working to leave you with your financial confidence fuelled and your expectations updated. However, in retrograde motion until 23rd June, Mercury’s smart head for money is focused on the past. Yet while the Sun keeps things real, an eclipsing New Moon on 10th June will create an opportunity for new beginnings and a fresh start. While the Sun will leave on 21st June, with Mercury here until 12th July, this is where there will continue to be continuity. The change is happening in two diverse areas of your life but is being created by the same two planets. The month begins with Mars in his final days in an adventurous part of your chart, with Venus joining him on 3rd June. With Mars not leaving until 12th June, this is when Venus’ desire for adventure will merge with and add even more fuel to Mars’ passion for adventure. It is on 12th June that Mars not only returns to your career sector but for his first visit in two years and to begin the first planetary activity here in eight months. Venus will join Mars here on 27th June, ending the month back on the same page but with a different agenda. Fortunately, the Sun’s return to an adventurous part of your chart on 21st June will keep the spirit of adventure alive.

	Sagittarius	Tuesday 01 June 2021	Nov 22 - Dec 21
By the time you move into the new month, it has only been four days since the Moon left Sagittarius, wrapping up an eclipsing Full Moon, the most powerful of 2021. This was the Full Moon that will always bring you to the halfway point in each solar year, with a call to take your power back and to push the reset button on the intentions and resolutions made during your birthday month six months earlier. As the only total lunar eclipse of 2021, this not just the most powerful Full Moon of 2021 but the most powerful in Sagittarius since June 2011. This is something you will still be digesting and will continue to until the Moon comes full circle from 23rd June to 25th June. This is a Full Moon that will always fall at some point during the Sun’s month long visit to your relationship sector and it is a clash between your personal and relationship needs that wakes you up to your own needs. While the Sun won’t leave your relationship sector until 21st June, this was the only significant clash and already, with Mercury in retrograde motion there until 23rd June, the planet of communication is hard at work, giving the past and unsaid words a voice. Meanwhile, life is set to become a lot more adventurous but not until 12th June. Until then, Mars is making the most of his final days in your financial sector, with the warrior planet of the cosmos on a mission to fuel your financial passions and fighting spirit as he urges you to take your financial power back. With Venus, the planet of money here from 3rd June to 27th June and the Sun returning on 21st June, what Mars can inspire will remain a work in progress through to later next month. It is Mars’ return to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery on 12th June that not only begins his first visit in two years but the first planetary activity here in eight months. Venus will join Mars here on 27th June, ending the month in lockstep.

	Capricorn	Tuesday 01 June 2021	Dec 22 - Jan 19
There is a mix of the expected and the unexpected this month, with a lot of support between the two. The expected is that the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of June in your work sector, with the solar spotlight always on your work situation and job matters at this time of year. The unexpected is that you not only have Saturn in your income sector but Jupiter’s departure last month has already established a strong connection between planets on the income and job fronts. That connection will be further strengthened when the Sun and Saturn form a friendly aspect on 3rd/4th June. Meanwhile, with Saturn in retrograde motion all month and Mercury in retrograde motion in your work sector until 21st June, the doors are open to the past, second chances and untapped income and job potential. However, an eclipsing New Moon on 10th June also creates the potential for new beginnings and opportunities on the income front. Also expected is that when the Sun leaves your work sector on 21st June he will return to your relationship sector, turning the solar spotlight onto your relationships at the same time every year. The unexpected is the water that has already passed under the bridge since then and that you not only have Neptune in your communication sector but lucky Jupiter as well. The month begins with Mars in your relationship sector and while he will leave on 12th June with Venus, the planet of love here from 3rd June to 27th June, the focus will remain on your relationships all month. Mars was already in your relationship sector when Jupiter returned to your communication sector last month so they never connected directly. It will be a different story for Venus, moving into a friendly aspect to Jupiter on 3rd/4th June, bringing the planets of love and luck together on a joint mission to give your relationships a voice. If those dates sound familiar, this is the same time that the Sun and Saturn bring income and job matters together, making work/life balance important this month.

	Aquarius	Tuesday 01 June 2021	Jan 20 - Feb 18
Even before the month began a balance between work and play was a priority and even more so as the month progresses. Because the Sun will always spend the first three weeks of June in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart before returning to your busy work sector, this will always become an issue at some point. Mainly because while the Sun will already leave one and return to the other on 21st June, Venus and Mercury are more fluid so there is often an overlap. However, that overlap has already begun, with Mars in the final days of a seven week visit to your work sector as we move into the new month. Venus will leave a playful part of your chart and join Mars in your work sector on 3rd June and while he will leave on 12th June, this will keep the continuity going. At the same time, while the Sun will leave a playful part of your chart on 21st June, a retrograde phase is keeping Mercury there all month. There isn’t a moment when there is not only planetary activity on the playful and busy side of life’s fence but a compelling reason to make each a priority. The fact that there are no challenges and real opportunities on both fronts makes this something to embrace, seeing a balance between work and play as a solution rather than a problem. What the planets returning to your work sector will benefit from is having lucky Jupiter in his first full month in your income sector in over a decade. This not only makes this a good month for work and job matters but a potentially lucrative month as well. Meanwhile, while the other planets continue what Mars began on the job front, his departure on 12th June will see him return to your relationship sector, beginning his first visit in two years and the first planetary activity on the relationship front in eight months. Your relationships will finally get some much needed attention.

	Pisces	Tuesday 01 June 2021	Feb 19 - Mar 20
While this is an important month on a number of fronts the overriding focus is on Jupiter’s first, last and only full month in Pisces, with the planet of luck and expansion creating a unique moment in time. The reality is, Jupiter shouldn’t be here, making this more a chance to jump forward into the future and then back out again. Jupiter only returned to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart in December, to begin the 12 month wind down of your current 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion. Jupiter shouldn’t return to begin your next cycle until December but he has overshot the runway. Saturn turned retrograde last month and that will keep him in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart but while Jupiter will turn retrograde on 26th June, it is after he has left and returned to Pisces. This will see Jupiter make a U turn that will take him back to join Saturn and to spend the next five months winding down your old Jupiter cycle. However, this means that Jupiter gets to spend two and a half months in Pisces, planting seeds and giving you a look at what the future could hold. Jupiter will return to close old doors armed with that knowledge while having set things up for his return in December. This is the overriding influence this month but on a more mundane level, there is a lot of focus on things close to home and on matters of the heart and all things fun, playful, romantic and creative. The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of June in your home and family sector before returning to a playful part of your chart so this is a natural focus for this time of year. The difference is that with Mars already in a playful part of your chart and Venus returning on 3rd June there is a continuous overlap between the two all month. What is new is Mars’ return to your work sector on 12th June, returning to fire things up on the job front for the first time in two years and bringing the first planetary activity into play here in eight months.
